Switching to Linux was the best thing I ever did to my PC. Wish I had done it sooner, Linux has given me problems yes but they are problems one can solve. Not like Windows where you are shoehorned into a choice Microsoft in their great wisdom has made. (ads in my operating system? omegalul)
What I'm trying to say: I hope open-source & Linux grows (seems like a fat chance tho, it feels like phones&tablets are taking over PC's & the role of PC's somewhat) the world would benefit from it. Greatly I might add.
